BRIEF
INTRODUCTION

The role of an official is very crucial in a sporting effort. He defines the success or
failure of a certain physical activity. It is therefore necessary for an aspiring officiating
official to possess qualities for him to meet the goal of having a satisfying, complain-
free, impartial, and successful game.
Here are the Seven Qualities of a Good Sports Official by Sports Excel Officiating
1. INTEGRITY. A great sports official is the last guardian of honesty in athletics. He
must maintain a complete absence of bias.
2. HUSTLE. Since officiating is a game of angles and positioning, officiating hustle
describes movement and court position. Every great official moves efficiently to
be in the right place at the right time. It’s the only way to see the entire play and
make the correct call.
3. JUDGMENT. Great judgment is a by-product of effort and experience. It goes
beyond the rule book and includes an almost instinctive ability to apply the
critical principal of "advantage/disadvantage." When you see a play, in virtually

1
 every circumstance, if there is no advantage gained and if no player has been
put at a disadvantage there should be no call. Simply put: No harm, no foul.
4. COMMUNICATION. Basically, communication means, "Can you deal with
people?" Can you deal with coaches and players during the game?
Communication can be accomplished in many ways and in most cases the
situation will dictate your appropriate response.
5. CONSISTENCY. Young officials have more difficulty with consistency than any
other quality, mainly because they lack the experience to realize when their
decisions are inconsistent. Everyone has some difficulty in this regard, but the
great officials are unrelenting in their judgment. They see and call a game better
than their colleagues.
6. COURAGE. Regardless of the situation, personalities involved, pressures from the
crowd or possible repercussions, great officials place fairness above all other
concerns. They act courageously and according to the dictates of that value.
7. COMMON SENSE. I’ve saved the best for last. Of the qualities discussed, common
sense is the most important. That which is fair and right must take precedence
throughout each game.
These qualities are important for any Sports Official on how they will handle themselves
and the competition at the beginning until the end.

be avoided, but in case, they should be used only when it is absolutely necessary to be

understood by the team members
